Youth Summer Serve Camp 2026: A Week of Serving. A Lifetime of Impact.

During this year’s Summer Serve Camp, 19 students and 6 volunteer leaders spent three unforgettable days discovering what it means to live out their faith through service. Summer Serve Camp wasn’t just about completing projects—it was about becoming the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.

Throughout the week, our students stepped into opportunities to serve in practical ways. They packed meals, sorted clothing, organized donated items, helped local ministry partners, and tackled projects that made a real difference for organizations serving people throughout our community. Whether they were lifting boxes, preparing supplies, or lending a helping hand, every act of service reflected Christ’s love.

Of course, camp wasn’t all work.

Between service projects, students built friendships around campfires, shared meals, laughing together, and created memories that will last long after the week ended. Those moments of fun reminded us that community is one of God’s greatest gifts, and serving together has a way of bringing people closer together.

More importantly, students were challenged to see that serving isn’t something we do once a year—it’s a lifestyle. Every conversation, every project, and every moment pointed back to the truth that following Jesus means loving others with our actions.

We’re incredibly grateful to our volunteer leaders who invested their time, energy, and hearts into these students. Thank you for modeling servant leadership and creating an environment where students could grow in both faith and friendship.

To our students: thank you for saying “yes” to serving. Your willingness to step outside your comfort zone, work hard, and love others well made a lasting impact—not only on the people you served but on everyone who witnessed it.

As we celebrate this year’s Summer Serve Camp, we’re reminded that God can do amazing things through willing hearts. We can’t wait to see how these students continue serving their families, schools, churches, and communities throughout the year.

Thank you to everyone who prayed, supported, volunteered, and encouraged our students. Your investment is helping raise the next generation of disciples who know that serving others is one of the greatest ways to share the love of Christ.

A week of serving. A lifetime of impact.
